SHAUN Wright–Phillips could be on the substitutes’ bench as Manchester City look for a win at Tottenham that would keep them in the hunt for a Europa League spot.

The England star has struggled to overcome a knee injury that has kept him out for a month but he returned to training yesterday and is set to play some part at White Hart Lane.

Record-signing Robinho (groin) is definitely out, which could mean a starting berth for Martin Petrov.


ARSENAL midfielder Andrey Arshavin is fit again following a virus but goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (ankle) will miss out on the match at Manchester United.

Long–term absentee Tomas Rosicky is back in training, but will not play again this season, while full–back Gael Clichy (back), William Gallas (knee) and striker Eduardo (groin) are all sidelined.
